Here Without You (Live at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion, Houston, TX, 2003) - 3 Doors Down

I wish you knew the person I am The way I hold my heart in my hands The way I sing like it's the air that I breathe People say it's everything I whistle still, crack my knuckles too 'Cause these are the two things you, you taught me to do They get on my mother's nerves, maybe 'cause I learned it from you I hope one day there's more for me to choose Until that day I wish this to be true When I run, I'm running to your arms And when I sing, I'm singing to your heart I feel you near in my moments of fear But when I open up my eyes, I see it clear It's only in my dreams that you are here You're not here Did you know I dropped out of school? 19 years old with a whole lot to prove Carried on through my doubts All to figure out Who I was meant to be Ten years later 29 years old Got my poor heart broken Did it over the phone Was in a hotel room And I was all alone I was alone I wanted to run, run into your arms And cry while you held me to your heart Feel you near in my moment of fear But I opened up my eyes and wiped the tears It was only in my dreams that you were here And now you're missing out On how I get to live the life That I forever and a day had dreamed about And it's a shame you won't be there, for the joy I've yet to share Because in spite of you I'm here oh yes, I'm here And I'm in love, and it's for real, and you'll never get to meet them But I truly hope you're happy where you are It's unfortunate we end before we start I hope you know I'll always love you from afar But I can't ignore the part That wants to run, run into your arms And sing until it pierces through your heart Feel you near in my moments of fear I know that it's a dream, and you're not here I'm holding onto dreams 'cause you're not here You'll never be here

I've dreamed about this sixteen days away Now you're here and my head lies Besides your body pillowed under mine You were poison, spinning round my mind "Welcome to my world", she said "Do you feel alive?", she said It's all a bad dream Spinning in your lonely head "Welcome to my world" she said Separated world, she stayed Separated Down poison Down poison Body withered, body died Time to take away this life Bad enough to die from one Not to mention four or five "Welcome to my world", she said "Do you feel alive?", she said It's all a bad dream Spinning in your lonely head "Welcome to my world" she said Separated world, she stayed Separated Down poison Down poison Down poison Down Down poison You weren't there for me, I was there for you Down poison You weren't there for me, I was there for you Down poison You weren't there for me, I was there for you Down poison You weren't there for me, never there for me You wouldn't die for me, I've already died for you You wouldn't die for me, I've already died for you You wouldn't die for me, I've already died for you You wouldn't die, you wouldn't die, you wouldn't die, no "Welcome to my world", she said "Do you feel alive?", she said It's all a bad dream Spinning in your lonely head "Welcome to my world" she said Separated world, she stayed Separated Down poison Down poison Down poison Down

Rubber headed motor junky Run me down and try to stone me Throw my life away, and I'll be worthless just like you Somewhere now a baby's crying Down the road his mother's dying Shot a line and blew her mind, and now she's turning blue Don't you throw your life away Just wait until another day Don't you throw your life away 'Cause baby, I can feel it Don't you ever compromise it Don't you even realize it Don't you throw your life away, 'cause baby, I can feel it now Trip and fall I'm sure you all can tell me What is on the wall Behind the liquor store where you get smacked up all the time Perfect little life you wasted, overdosed and that death you tasted Scared you back into yourself, now you walk the line Don't you throw your life away Just wait until another day Don't you throw your life away 'Cause baby, I can feel it Don't you ever compromise it Don't you even realize it Don't you throw your life away, 'cause baby, I can feel it now Life away Life away Life away

Put me on a train mama 'Cause things just ain't the same no more (Put me on a train mama) Put me on a train my mama I'm leavin' today Well, I don't wanna watch the world spinnin' I wanna be spinnin' with it (Put me on a train mama) Well, put me on a train my mama I'm leavin' today 'Cause I've got the feeling that's for sure And to know that I can get it makes me want it more Mama I just want you to know that I'm gonna be fine Lord I know it's a chance that I take But I know you'll forgive the mistakes that I make There's a life out there and it's gonna be mine Put me on a train mama 'Cause I can't take this pain no more (Put me on a train mama) Put me on a train my mama I'm leaving today And there's a world that's out there waitin' And I know that it's a chance I'm takin' (Put me on a train mama) Put me on a train my mama I'm leaving today 'Cause I've got the feeling that's for sure And to know that I can get it makes me want it more Mama I just want you to know that I'm gonna be fine Lord I know it's a chance that I take But I know you'll forgive the mistakes that I make There's a life out there and it's gonna be mine God knows how long I'll be gone But maybe one day train will bring me home Put me on a train mama Ooh, put me on a train mama Oh, put me on a train mama I'm leaving today 'Cause I've got the feeling that's for sure And to know that I can get it makes me want it more Mama I just want you to know that I'm gonna be fine Lord I know it's a chance that I take But I know you'll forgive the mistakes that I make There's a life out there and it's gonna be mine Oh, put me on the train 'Cause I'm leavin' today

You're stuck on a chain And you're towing a lie Seems like every time that you catch up You only fall behind And you're trapped inside this world you made yourself But that's not the world I live in This is not the life for me Cause my world is bigger than your problems And it's bigger than me That's not the world I live in This is not the life for me Cause my world is bigger than your problems And it's bigger than me There is always someone to blame For the things you do yourself You think that everything that's going wrong Is because of someone else And you're trapped inside this world you made yourself That's not the world I live in This is not the life for me Cause my world is bigger than your problems And it's bigger than me It's not the world I live in This is not the life for me Cause my world is bigger than your problems And it's bigger than me Cause I'm lonely outside and I'll look on in And that's not the world I live in This is not the life for me Cause my world is bigger than your problems And it's bigger than me It's not the world I live in This is not the life for me Cause my world is bigger than your problems And it's bigger than me Cause my world is bigger than your problems And it's bigger than me...
